Jammu, Jan 23: Four days before the Bharat Jodo Yatra will enter Kashmir Valley after covering Jammu province, outspoken Congress leader and former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Digvijaya Singh stoked controversy by questioning the 2016 surgical strike against Pakistan.
Addressing a rally on the concluding day of the 129th day of the Bharat Jodo Yatra at Satwari Chowk in Jammu city, Digvijay, who is known for stoking controversies, said that there is no proof of the surgical strike.
He said that while the BJP government at the Centre claims to have carried out a surgical strike against Pakistan, there was no proof of the same.
Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Monday said that while the BJP government at the Centre claims to have carried out the surgical strike against Pakistan, there was no proof of the same.
“The Centre is ruling with the help of lies. I want to tell you that this country belongs to all of us,” added the Madhya Pradesh former Chief Minister.
Cong quicks to distance from Digvijay Singh’s utterance
As Digvijay Singh’s speech during the Bharat Jodo Yatra erupted a controversy Congress was quick to react and the party distanced itself from his viewpoint.
The Congress distanced itself from the comments made by its senior leader Digvijaya Singh on the 2016 surgical strikes and said the views expressed by him “are his own” and “do not reflect the position” of the party.
“The views expressed by senior leader Digvijaya Singh are his own and do not reflect the position of Congress. Surgical strikes were carried out before 2014 by the UPA government. Congress has supported and will continue to support all military actions that are in the national interest,” AICC communication incharge Jairam Ramesh tweeted. |
